Richard,
One bug I know of that could possibly be a match is:
CSCec00268
Externally found severe defect: Resolved (R)
Input drops and * throttles on PPP multilink interface
fixed in 12.2(15)T9. The way to verify is to check
'sh int multilink <x>' and see if the interface is under
throttle.
Router#sh int mu 2
Multilink2 is up, line protocol is up
<snip>
Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0* throttles
^-- Here.
If that's not it email me offline and I'll help you get
it resolved.
Thanks,
Rodney
